THE

HAPPY NEW YEAR?
This is the traditional time to wish friends a
"Happy New Year," and we make such a wish for
all SlU ihem Howiever, we would" be less than real­
istic if we expected any degree of fulfillment for
the wish.
The men who man the merchant ships have had
a rough time of it during the past year and they will
have just as bad a time in the year to come—^no one
can deny this fact. It's not just the enemy bombs
and torpedoes that we're talking about (though
those are no small item, God knows), rather is it
the home front offensive ag^ainst the rights and liv­
ing conditions of the men.
Facing storms and loneliness and submarines is
part of the modern seamen's job and he is doing it
with unparalleled courage and fortitude. But he
feels that his sacrifices at sea entitle him to a living
wage, union security and the dignity of a freeborn
man. He receives none of these without a continual
and bitter battle with profit ma.d shipowners and
power drunk Washington bureaucrats.
While the seaman risks his very life in the
prosecution of this war, the shipowner sits safely at
home and schemes how to . break the unions and cut
his payroll costs. And this situation isn't going to
change in 1944—-it's going to get worse.
So, we don't make an idle wish for a "Happy
New Year," rather do we wish for all SIU men a
New Year of courage and militancy and solidarity;
courage to face the dangers they must, militancy in
the face of their enemies at home, and solidarity
with all union brothers in the building of a strong
union which is the only guarantee of achieving a
"Happy New Year" in the years to come.

The War Shipping Administra­
tion has just released the new
revised medical examinations
which are to be binding on Jan­
uary 1, 1944. Every member of
the union should study the fol­
lowing text of Admiral Land's
order. The WSA has announced
that these regulations wiU go in­
to effect, irre.speptive of any ob­
jections to them by the various
maritime unions.
1. In order to safeguard the
health of crew's members and
troops, and the safety and effici­
ency of the vessel itself, there
shall be instituted the practice of
requiring regular annual, as well
as signing on medical examina­
tions and the basic immunization
of all licensed and unlicensed
personnel employed on aU Am­
erican, Honduran, and Panamian
flag vessels owned by or under
bareboat charter to the War
Shipping Administration.
2. Nothing in this order is ap­
plicable to medical programs of
shipping companies which al­
ready have such programs in op­
eration. This general order is
applicable only to facilitie.s and
programs of the United States
Public Health Service and the
War Shipping Administration
which either are available or will
be made available to carry out
the purpose of this order.
3. In accordance with admin­
istrative order No. 51, these ex­
aminations shall be under the
guidance and control of the med­
ical director of the War Shipping
Administration, who shall be an
officer of the United States Pub­
lic Health Service detailed for
the purpose by the Surgeon-Gen­
eral of that service. The medical
director will be represented in
each port by a port medical rep­
resentative, who, at ports where
the Public Health Service main­
tains a first of second class relief
station, shall be the medical of­
ficer in charge of the Public

Health Service relief station at
that port. The port medical rep­
resentatives shall have supervis­
ory charge of these examinations
in their respective ports.
4. The signing on examina-.
tions are designed to discover
cases of tuberculosis, veneral di-sease, commimicable and infec­
tious diseases, epilepsy, Insanity,
and acute surgical conditions.
Special immunizations shall be
arranged for when vessels are
proceeding into pestilence areas.
Annual physical examinations,
providing the basis of individual
treatment and' cure, shall be in­
stituted as rapidly as facilities
permit.
5. Experienced seamen shall
not be disqualified for age or dis­
abilities due to age and occupa­
tional wear and tear. The pur­
pose of the program is protection
to others and remedial action for
those needing it. The hospital
facilities of the United States
Public Health Service and the
rehabilitation program of the
Federal Security Agency are al­
ready available for seamen re­
quiring such services.
6. Examinations .will be in­
stituted at each port where mari­
time activity justifies it on the
effective date of this order, or as
soon thereafter as po.ssible. Sup­
plements win be issued to this
order for carrying out these ex­
aminations and immunizations
and the procedures to be follow­
ed.
7. Standards for medical ex­
aminations shall "be set by the
medical director of the War Ship­
ping Administration, under the
requirements and with the ap­
proval of the United States Pub­
lic Health Service.
8. Each examinee, if he so de­
sires, shall be fully advised oral­
ly regarding the facts disclosed
by his examination. If he fur-

LEAVE HER JOHNNIE,
LEAVE HER
(Paraphrase on Yankee Clipper Sea Chantey)
I thought I heard the seamen say
{Leave her, Johnnie, leave her)
Our NMU leaders turn us gray
{It's time for lis to leave her.)
The ships stuck fast for many a year
{Leave her, Johnnie, leave her)
Leave her to Browder with a big Bronx cheer
{It's time for us to leave her.)
Her bottoms gone, her planks cue warped
{Leave her, Johnnie, leave fjer)
Her finger men have the seamen marked
{It's time for us to leave her.)
„
They can neither steer, nor luff, nor wear
{Leave /xr, Johnnie, leave her)
The Star of Moscow is their only care
{It's time for us to leave her.)
Her running riggings carried away
{Leave her, Johnnie, leave her)
The Browder lubbers are there to stay
{It's time for us to leave her.)

- ,: . _

The trip was short tho the years were long
{Leave her, Johnnie, leave her)
Their hot air windy gales were strong
{It's time for us to leave her.)
